Pressure Metrology

PRESSURE CALIBRATION

Pressure calibration is the method of checking, correcting or adjusting, through comparison with a known standard, the ration of force to the area over which that force is distributed. Our calibration scope as well as various examples of pressure instruments can be found below.

Dead Weight Testers

A Dead Weight Tester is a device that uses known traceable weights to apply pressure to a fluid for checking the accuracy of readings from pressure gauges.

Scope: In-House Calibration: 0 - 700 bar

Pressure Gauges

A Pressure Gauge is a device which determines the pressure in a compressed gas or liquid.

Scope: In-House Calibration: 0 - 700 bar

Blood Pressure Meters

A Blood Pressure Meter is a device used to measure blood pressure. It consists of an inflatable cuff, a measuring unit and a mechanism for inflation.

Scope: In-House Calibration: 0 - 300 mmHg

Tyre Inflators

A Tyre Inflator is a device used to inflate something (eg. tyre) by using air.

Scope: In-House Calibration: 0 - 10 bar

Vacuum Gauges

A Vacuum Gauge is a device that is used to measure the pressure in a vacuum.

Scope: In-House Calibration: 0 to -80 kPa

Pressure Safety Valves

A Pressure Safety Valve is a valve mechanism which automatically releases a substance from a pressure vessel or other system, when the pressure exceeds preset limits.

Scope: In-House Calibration: 0 - 700 bar

Pressure Manometers

A Pressure Manometer is a device which determines the pressure in a compressed gas or liquid. It is similar to Pressure Gauges, but measure smaller pressures.

Scope: In-House Calibration: 0 - 30 kPa

Pressure Recorders

A Pressure Recorder is a device which is used to for measurement and recording of pressure in a wide variety of applications.

Scope: In-House Calibration: ALL

Pressure Transducers

A Pressure Transducer (sometimes called Pressure Transmitter) is a device that converts pressure into an analogue electrical signal.

Scope: In-House Calibration: 0 - 700 bar
